Canon EF 135mm f/2L IS USM lens to be announced in 2018

Canon EF 135mm f/2L IS USM lens rumored to be announced at the Photokina 2018 event in September.

The upcoming EF 135mm f/2L IS USM lens will feature integrated IS technology to reduce image blur. The good-old EF 135mm f/2L USM is more than 20 years old and doesn’t have this system.

The mid-telephoto prime lens is currently priced for $999 at major camera stores like Amazon| B&H. The original non-IS version will remain current for some time after the new lens appears.
